MUSIC IN COUNTRY CHURCHES

Music in Country Churches was established as a charitable trust in 1989 with two aims: to arrange concerts in rural churches of exceptional beauty and interest, and to raise funds to assist those churches with the costs of their repair and maintenance. The Charity is particularly keen to use its resources to support young and emerging musicians.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
